Abstract

ABSTRACT In this essay, I use discourse tracing to analyse critical movements and shifts in media discourse during the early phases of the COVID-19 outbreak in Singapore. The study follows mainstream media discourses featured in The Straits Times to unearth the tensions, ruptures, and dialectics as the public health crisis developed. Specifically, I traced how media frames were constructed and reconstructed to convey escalating threats. In shaping the production of knowledge about the outbreak, journalistic rituals embedded socio-cultural factors in shapingthe outbreak narrative. In the process, racialized threats of the mobile transnational citizen were discussed, informing us how the virus is manufactured, discussed, and circulated by the media.

早期主流框架下对COVID-19疫情的制造:流行病的制造(二)跨国公民

在这篇文章中，我使用话语追踪来分析新加坡COVID-19爆发初期媒体话语的关键运动和转变。本研究以《海峡时报》的主流媒体话语为线索，揭示公共卫生危机发展过程中的紧张、断裂和辩证法。具体来说，我追踪了媒体框架是如何构建和重建的，以传达不断升级的威胁。在塑造疫情知识的生产过程中，新闻仪式将社会文化因素嵌入到疫情叙事的塑造中。在这个过程中，讨论了流动跨国公民的种族化威胁，告诉我们媒体是如何制造、讨论和传播病毒的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
